2 installations

[jason]

I was told that if I had windows xp at work that I was
allowed to install it on my home computer as well. Is
this true?

No, it is not true. Each installation of Windows XP,
installed on a different computer, requires its own
license (Product Key).

To access the License Agreement on your XP computer, go to:

Start > Run and type: WINVER , and hit enter.

Then click on "End-User License Agreement".

You can also open XP's "Help and Support" and type: EULA
and hit enter. Click on "Questions and answers about the EULA".

I have another question:

If I purchase new computers with XP pro as a part of the purchase, can I use
a corp. license instead of the bundle license for a matter of convenience
when running multiple installs?

We purchased

You may want to speak with the seller of your new PCs
and request Volume Licensing in lieu of the OEM licenses.
The reason is OEM licenses are non-transferable to a
different computer, thus you would lose the OEM license
if you replace it with a Volume License version of XP.
